TRAIL NOTES

H

usqvarna recently

announced that it

had ended 2015 with

worldwide sales fi gures up 32

per cent compared to 2014. The

increase in sales also resulted in

a 41 per cent increase in annual

turnover. Throughout 2015,

21,513 Husqvarnas were sold,

which handsomely topped the

16,337 sold in 2014.

Husky released new motocross

models in 2015 and has since

grabbed its fi rst-ever Open Class

Supercross win and also has

the 701 Supermoto and Enduro

waiting to hit the roads and trails

in Oz. There may have been

some dark days for Husky but it’s

undeniable that the famous name

hasn’t experienced the success

it’s enjoying right now on the

trails and track for many years.

In other good news for Husky,

Aussie rider Josh Strang has

signed on for the Rockstar

Energy Husqvarna Factory

off-road team to pilot an FC

in the GNCC series. Strangy

fi nished third in 2015 and with

team mates like Mike Brown and

Colton Haaker for 2016, no doubt

he’ll be pushing to go a couple of

places better.
